Z~ The total timeline for the development and possible implementation of this optian is eight ~8} months. Staff would have to devote existing resources to develop and present this proposed amendment as well as generate ail necessary memorandums}, maps, and other support documents that may be required. PRO's: This option allows fora .measurable increase in the allowable non- residential development within the Nodes and could eliminate the need far local residents to commute to urban areas or centers ~i.e. existing local municipalities} in order to purchase necessities or take advantage of essential services, thereby reducing miles traveled and pollution. CQN's: The current land uses allowed within the LC-~ andlor NC~~ zoning districts are broader than what was originally envisioned for development within the Nades. Simply raising the amount of nan~ residential development within the Node does not address the issue of encouraging the type of development the County would like to see within the Nades. GENERAL Pa~TNC3TF: Staff also believes that if an increase is suggested that rural scale and architectural standards should be adopted. C3PTl~N THREE: Amend Sections 4.28 and 4.x.9 of the Zoning Ordinance to include language exempting the necessary active septic andlor repair fields from the acreage computation. The revised sectian~s} would read as follows: I1larmally, the maximum amaunl of land of any rode snail nal exceed nine acres, bul a maximum of 5 acres shall apply where populaliorr derrsily is lower and dislribuled mare widely than in the Trar~silion areas. ?~hls acreage ~~mi~a~ia~a shad r~o~ include phase areas necessary ~a supparl ~lae location of aclr'ver ar repair, septic fr'elds for identified permi~~ed nary-residential uses. T~I~ELNE: The implementation of this option involves the fol[awing timeline: 1. Development of a formal ordinance amendment package completed by staff} -~ approximately one ~~ } month, 2. Presentation at a Quarterly Public Tearing. All Ordinance amendments are required fio be presented at a Quarterly Public Hearing ~QPH}. The next available QPT would be the lUlay ~8, ~a09 meeting.
